It's National Apprenticeship Week!

At Community Services Agency, we’re proud to recognize the power of apprenticeships and the skilled trades in building strong careers and stronger communities.

Apprenticeships offer hands-on training, real-world experience, and a pathway to long-term success without the burden of student debt. From construction and electrical work to HVAC, plumbing, and beyond, the trades are full of opportunities for individuals ready to learn, earn, and grow.

Whether you're just starting out or looking for a new direction, apprenticeships can open the door to a rewarding career. Nevada has more than 70 registered apprenticeship programs to choose from! Ready to explore your options? Check out:

We are proud to recognize those who go above and beyond—and no one did more than Juan Aguirre. Juan led the entire Local 159 with the highest number of hours worked last year, embodying the dedication, reliability, and work ethic that define our union. From his early days inspired by his brother Ricardo to his continued commitment at Olsen Precast, Juan shows what it means to bring value to every job and always be ready to step up. Congratulations, Juan—your hard work sets the standard for all of us. 💪
